That worked great! Thanks, John B. John B,
Welcome to Legacy! A similar problem was mentioned on the LUG recently, and a possible solution was given by Cricket Hackman on 25-Sep, which I've repeated here: > I am by no means a Legacy expert, and usually stay solidly in "Lurk Mode," but > I've recently tangled with this subject of customizing the appearance of > surnames.

By the way, can I give you two simple tips for e-mailing to this list for again (and please take these in the spirit of good faith in which they're offered): 1. If your query is a new one, you should create a new thread, rather than replying to something unrelated. Otherwise, some people who may be able to answer your query may miss it if they're not interested in the original post. 2. Before sending a query, it's always a good idea to check the archives, your question may have already been answered. Having said all that, keep asking questions, you'll almost definitely help someone else! Regards and best wishes with Legacy, Dermot.
